Andrew and Claire first met at an AutoZone staff meeting. Who knew an automotive retail store can bring two strangers together and create a forever love story? Answer: They forsure did not. Matter of fact, Claire did not like Andrew to begin with, she thought he was arrogant and cocky. However, in true Tomlin fashion, Andrew eventually swept Claire off her feet.

They spoke overnight for eight hours straight about random facts, childhood memories, and the way they grew up. They both refused to be the one to hangup the phone first, so they stayed on the phone until dawn. Their alarms failed to go off and they were both late for work. And the rest was history.

On Andrew's fourth deployment overseas, Claire (alongside two of her bridesmaids) flew out to Naples, Italy to see Andrew. Trying to throw the scent of a proposal off, he was able to make her believe a proposal was not happening on this trip.

Little did she know, around sunset, during dinner at a restaraunt in front of a castle they toured, Andrew had a Facebook live video recording him getting down on one knee and asking Claire to marry him. And of course, she said yes.

Fast forward seven months; a long 26 hour drive, and a large uhaul later, Andrew and Claire have reunited in Marysville, Washington. Where they currently live with their dog Leo, their cat Sassy, and of course Andrew's little one, Bryden. They are all ready to take on this next chapter in their lives.

They would be blessed to have you join them tie the knot in 2024!
